Thanks, Gamerzines.
wow!
nice to see joe danger selling well, certainly deserves it!
by far the best game available on PSN!
Yeah PSN is picking up steam
@ Nick: Yep, Joe Danger is good.
@Ernice: Indeed
yea they are, it will be interesting to see if valve bring over any features they have on the PC steam, wonder if they will start having features for MP games like they do the PC.
id be so cool if sony and all publishers gave valve open rights, that way they can give fans open tools to create mods for their games.
turn the ps3 into the PC, flood PSN with heaps of game mods.
thats the best part about PC gaming, once your finished a game chances are theres another 10+ hours waiting for you in extra levels through mods, and sometimes the fan created stuff is better than the developers made!
“sometimes the fan created stuff is better than the developers made!”
I couldn’t agree more nick.That’s why I love LBP. Oh do check out the link (LBP2 Beta levels) I posted in the WQ thread.
Yeah, fan-made stuff is the best in LBD. Just awesome
